Chapter 11: Personal Safety Alarms and Apps

Devices can be held or worn, are relatively inexpensive and can be programmed to send the user’s GPS location, audio and video to a set of contacts when a button on the device is pressed. Apps work the same way, but are activated when the user presses a button on the phone.
